It was 5:30 AM a beautiful morning at braynerd lake in Colorado at 10,360 feet above sea level. We had gotten ready for our accent to mount audoban the night before and were on out way to the trail that would take us to the base of the mountain.the train started of at a nice dirt path that was fairly level.then we saw about 20 yards in front of us was a steep winding path to the start of the mountain.we had started our accent not but 100 yards and we were all out of breath.we ended having to do thisabout 3 more times befor we had even broke the tree line.but at that same exact moment we all got a burst hope because we could see what we thought was the top of the mountain. so we once again started our tretous journey up the winding trail to the top.
